Marriage the Way God Intended Workbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781685708597)

Marriage the Way God Intended Workbook is an extension of the book Marriage the Way God Intended. It provides inspiration and opportunities for self-reflection. Do not wait for your marriage to be in trouble before putting forth an effort to sustain your marriage. You must strive to have a marriage the way God intended before and after you say "I do."

Having a marriage the way God intended requires unconditional love, forgiveness, self-discipline, wisdom, and patience. God created marriages, and he never makes anything to fail. A marriage joined by God is meant to last. Mark 10:9 (New International Version) says, "Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."

God created us for companionship, and a companion can help us accomplish more than we could achieve on our own. The beauty of companionship is found in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. The New Living Translation of these verses says that two people are better than one, for they can help each other succeed.

If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. The three cords represent a husband, a wife, and God. These three form a close relationship that is not easily broken.
